Heretofore, others have provided overcenter toggle-type trip mechanisms for plows which have incorporated spring mechanisms. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,662,839; 3,910,354; and 3,972,374 disclose trip mechanisms having overcenter toggle linkages with spring mechanisms. When the earthworking implement of such mechanisms is subjected to excessive working forces, the spring mechanism deflects to cause the toggle to release from its locked, overcenter position.
